My operating premise is that "Trump winning would be good for the left" tweeters are best ignored for like five different reasons.
1. A bunch of them are just winding y'all up.
2. Yelling at strangers pretty much never changes their politics in the direction the yeller hopes for.
3. This election is not going to be won or lost on the votes of left-wing Never-Bideners.
3a. (Really. It isn't. I promise.)
4. Chasing after not-gettable votes is a waste of time. You don't win electoral contests by converting your opponents, you win by mobilizing your allies and luring non-committeds.
5. If a leftist hasn't figured out that a second Trump term would be bad for the left, they're probably not going to figure it out in the next two months.
2 (again). And they're definitely not going to figure it out by being yelled at on Twitter.
6. Some folks have well-considered reasons for staying out of electoral politics, and yelling at anyone who says they're not voting Biden is a bad idea because...
7. You might actually find yourself working in coalition in the future with someone whose views on electoral politics you disagree with. Or trying to.
8. Every scrap of evidence we have says that the third-party vote is going to plummet this fall. (Why? Look around.)
Pop quiz: Who's the Green Party nominee this year?
Exactly. (I had to look it up myself.)
Anyway, that's my five reasons.
